Chapter 314 Connection
East Tivian, Stonebridge Junction.
In the afternoon, the intersections in Dongcheng District were bustling with people. The ground was damp after a light rain. A grayish white fog enveloped the streets, and pedestrians were barely visible in the fog.
Gregor, wearing a thick coat, stood under a street lamp at the intersection, his eyes fixed on a restaurant across the street. After staring for a while, he looked at his watch and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the time on it.
"It's time..."
Muttering, Gregor began to close his eyes and pray to that distant knowing being, praying that He could build a bridge of connection and establish a connection with the unknown detective.
After finishing his prayer, Greg began to wait silently. After only a moment, a male voice sounded in his mind.
"Is it Mr. Hunter?"
"Yes, Detective, according to your previous arrangement, I am ready to meet with those guys, and I need your help now."
Hearing the voice in her mind, Greg was slightly startled, and then whispered, and soon, the voice in her mind also spoke.
"I understand. So you have already drawn the mark on your body?"
"It's already been painted. It's on the arm on the right sleeve."
"Okay then, Mr. Hunter, please don't be nervous or resist." The voice in his head said this to Gregor, and Gregor listened to the voice, took a deep breath and relaxed his body and mind. Then he felt his body begin to move independently of his will, and his head began to turn around uncontrollably, as if he was scanning the surrounding situation.
Gregor had felt this feeling on the train a few days ago. He knew that the detective was using the mark on his body to control his body. This seemed to be his extraordinary ability.
After controlling Gregor's body again, Dorothy immediately used Gregor's vision to observe the surroundings. Soon she saw Harlan's Restaurant across the street. That was the meeting place where she and the minion had agreed to meet. However, Dorothy did not rush to control Gregor to enter the restaurant immediately. Instead, she spoke in the voice of a detective.
"By the way, before we go meet that guy... I want to ask you first, Mr. Hunter, is your review by the General Administration going smoothly? Have you encountered any problems?" Dorothy asked Gregor, because they would inevitably talk about some issues related to the review after meeting each other, so Dorothy needed to understand this from Gregor.
"As for the things that happened during the investigation, well... we did encounter quite a few. To be honest, Detective, the extent to which the headquarters has been infiltrated... I'm afraid it has exceeded our previous expectations." Gregor said in a serious tone in his heart. Dorothy was slightly startled after hearing his words, then continued to speak with a frown.
"The extent of infiltration was beyond our expectations? Why?"
Dorothy asked this, and Gregor hesitated for a moment before telling Dorothy about his recent conversation with Director Harold at the General Administration. Dorothy, who was sitting by the fire at home, couldn't help but frown after hearing Gregor's words.
'I didn't expect that... after Greg was recruited to the General Administration, he was immediately assigned to the anti-traitor team. Could it be that the Eight-Pointed Nest anticipated this and replaced Greg?
'Also... the current An Yin Bureau actually holds part of the ritual of the Blood Darkness Path. Could it be that the Eight Points leaked it intentionally? If this is true, then the An Yin Bureau has indeed been infiltrated to a terrifying degree. I don't know how these guys did it...'
Dorothy thought silently in her heart. At this moment, she remembered that the eight-pointed vampire Claudius once said that they could influence the Security Bureau in a special way. She didn't know whether the influence he mentioned was the inner ghost they planted in the Security Bureau, or the way to plant the inner ghost.
"But I never expected that Gregor would end up being a wind user or a vampire. This is just right... He can only deal with the Eight-Pointed Nest better if he is a Beyonder on this branch."
Dorothy thought so, and then she spoke again, looking at Greg with her mind.
"Thank you for the information, Mr. Hunter. It should be very useful. Now we should go meet the contact person..."
As she spoke, Greg, who was controlled by Dorothy, straightened her body, adjusted her collar, and then strode forward with a determined look in her eyes. After crossing the road, she quickly arrived downstairs of Harlan's restaurant.
Dorothy used Grego's vision to scan the second floor of the restaurant, and soon he saw a familiar middle-aged man in a suit and a slightly plump figure in a window compartment on the second floor. He was Yadlin's gang and subordinates on the train that day. It seemed that he had arrived first.
After seeing the man, Dorothy smiled slightly, and then let Greg go directly into the restaurant, and went all the way to the private room booked by the man on the second floor. After seeing Greg come in, the man was slightly startled, and then said with a smile.
"Sir Yadlin, you are finally here."
"Keep your voice down...don't keep calling my name randomly. Also, draw the curtains so that people outside can't see you." After entering, Gregor immediately closed the door of the private room and said to the man in front of him coldly. Dorothy still mixed Gregor's words with the effect of "The Queen's Parade", making the man feel the pressure.
"Yes, sir."
Feeling the pressure, the man did not dare to resist and immediately closed the curtains of the private room. Dorothy also asked Greg to sit in front of her, and the meeting officially began.
"Sir... you still look like that dead ghost hunter. Why don't you change into your original appearance and relax at this time?"
After they sat down, the man looked at the person in front of him and asked curiously. Gregor couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard the man's question, but fortunately he couldn't express his nervousness through his expression. It was Dorothy who controlled his face. At this time, Dorothy snorted coldly, and then turned around and asked the man.
"Hmph... When was the last time you saw my original appearance?"
"Um... when you and I first met, you hadn't turned into that conductor yet... your face at that time wasn't... your original appearance?" Hearing Greg's response, the man said in surprise. He was originally curious why "Mr. Yadlin" in front of him had to wear the face of the hunter in such a private meeting instead of his original appearance. After the other party's conversation, the man suddenly realized that the appearance of Yadlin he had seen before, was it really his true face? It might also be the other party's disguise!
Hearing Greg's question, the man was stunned for a moment, and Dorothy asked Greg to continue speaking calmly.
"As a shadow man, disguise is an ever-changing problem. The most important thing is that you can never easily show your true face to others, even to your own people. Think about it, if you find out that you are a traitor who was turned against you by others, a ghost, and I show you my real second face, then my situation will be very dangerous."
With a meaningful tone, Gregor looked at the man in front of him and said, the man was startled by Gregor, and then immediately defended himself.
"Sir, I can't be a traitor. My loyalty to the society is absolute! You have to believe me!"
"Ha... It's just an example. You don't have to be nervous. I'm just letting you familiarize yourself with the rules of the Shadow Mask Man in advance." Gregor said this to the man with a chuckle. After hearing this, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his awe for the Shadow Mask Man in front of him increased a little more.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir...but time is tight now...let's get down to business..." the man said, and finally they got to the point of the meeting.
"This time the society asked me to contact you, mainly to confirm your current situation, to review your status, and to see if I can connect you to the human-faced spider for communication. There is also a small task."
